If the MSM isn't trustworthy...

If MSM Isn't Trustworthy, Why Are Conservatives Trusting The MSM 8 Days Out? Asks Duane Patterson.

He's right. The thing I have found far more disconcerting than polls has been the head over heels willingness of some conservatives to give up hope as a result (for example, all of the bloggers at National Review). I have had a number of email exchanges with a staffer at a well known conservative publication. Calling himself a "Pollyanna," he cheerfully and confidently predicts that McCain has a 5% chance of winning.

If Barry truly were the chosen one this would be over by now. Patterson makes an excellent point that "The only poll that got the 2004 results close was the IBD Tipp poll. Most of the other polls then had John Kerry up around five points before the election." That sounds fairly similar to the numbers out there now. And the IBD poll has it very close, McCain within 4.

Today's banner on Drudge, a 2001 interview of Barry lamenting that SCOTUS hadn't mandated socialism, isn't going to help Obama. Nor will Andy McCarthy's piece about the LA Times sitting on a videotape which shows Barry heaping praise upon Yasser Arafat's spokeman at a dinner in 2003.

It ain't over till it's over.
